@@Titaniumsleeved2014 - mine is Wednesday, as well! Soft foods/protein shakes today and Clear liquids tomorrow. I should've taken today and tomorrow off of work, because I'm positively useless with nervousness/excitement.

Praying for you...... One week from today will be my turn . I don't know how to feel my emotions are all over the place.

Thanks! Praying and sending positive energy to you. It's natural to have varying feelings. Be gentle with yourself. We are all here for you.

Thanks! All went well. Having really bad tube pain. It may be gas. The nurses will get me up to walk pretty soon.

Thanks, chica! The pain is beginning to dissipate. I started to walk around. It definitely helped having the binder on. I'm ready to go home now!

A few tips:

- follow directions!

- trust your body

- it's okay to ask for pain medicine, you do not get brownie points for taking pain. It only raises your blood pressure

- do not try to overdo it!

- walking helps with the gas pain

- it's okay to hit the nurse button when you feel anything out of sorts, you are not bothering them

- allow people to help you

@@Donegirl4life Congrats! And I'm glad you're doing well.

When you are feeling up to it, any details you care to share, I'm anxious to know given you're at the same hospital with the same doctor where I will be this Monday.

Check-in, pre-surgery, recovery, getting to your room, liquids, how you're feeling, etc, etc. Anything you care to share would be much appreciated! Thank you.

This is my seventh post op day. I'm feeling pretty good - not much pain at all. However, the one thing that IS a pain is trying to get all the liquids in! The nurse from the hospital called to check up on me and said if I get at least one 20-ounce bottle of the Isopure in a day that's pretty good. Anyone else having issues getting their fluids?

BTW - congrats to those that just had their surgery. I knew it would go well!

1st day post op. Miserable from two tablespoons of veggie broth, drinking since 645 this morning. But I will keep that in mind. I literally have to take ten every hour to get it down.

The very first sip I took from the little cup was a bit more than I should have tried. I threw it up. I know what I did wrong and it hasn't happened again! just pace yourself. By the time I finished ONE item on my Breakfast tray - the lunch tray arrived! Hang in there girl!
